A postdoc position in plant molecular biology is immediately available
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The selected candidate will join a
team of scientists working to understand the molecular basis of
plant-microbe interactions. The candidate will work with the
Populus-Laccaria system and will focus on functional characterization
of candidate genes identified from high-throughput genomics and
proteomics data analysis, elucidation of protein-protein interactions,
and examination of long-distance protein movement in plants.
Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. degree in molecular biology,
biochemistry, genetics, or a related field. Publication record
demonstrating expertise in protein engineering, protein intercellular
movement, protein functional characterization, and signal transduction
is required. Applicant should be comfortable working in a
multi-disciplinary environment. Please go to
https://www2.orau.gov/ORNL_POST/ to apply for this position. All
applicants will need to register before they can begin the online
application. Please see the complete instructions at
